Is there a custom rom for the RT-AC68U capable of receiving/sending text messages (SMS)?

I use a 3G/4G dongle as a backup connection but I can't access its GUI through the RT-AC68U. My 3G/4G ISP does not provide any other means to top up / change subscriptions for the 3G/4G connection. Hence my only means of topping up etc. is to remove the SIM from the dongle, pop it in my phone & do it from there, which is a bit of a hassle.

Is there a custom rom which would allow me to receive and send text messages through the dongle when connected to the RT-AC68U?

Thanks :)
 
None that I have seen.
 
Nothing that does SMPP (which is SMS over IP), however, many operators do offer SMTP to SMS gateways... so you could send an email to that SMS address if allowed...
 
The 3G/4G dongle (modem) can obviously handle SMS traffic... Just wondering if there's a custom rom that would allow me to read and send them through the router's GUI.

I suppose it's a far-fetched idea.
